πŸ”₯ Does hotjar work with Ionic?

I am using hotjar for an Angular web app with this plugin and it works great.

Does anyone know if hotjar will:

  1. Work with Ionic.
  2. Pass the app and play store reviews.

If not what alternatives are recommended?
Not so interested in heatmaps more in the screen recording.

EDIT:
It states here that it does not work, but not sure how reliable this is:

This looks like another possible option. Anyone used this?
Not many downloads though…

Hi, did you find a hotjar similar solution that works with Ionic?

I have not done this yet but I will be in the next couple of months.
Here are my draft notes.

UXCam

Sentry looks like an option: (No video recording?)

TestFairy

Ability to turn on and off by platform admin.

Look at this as an alternative:

For reference I just gave this a go with hotjar and it works but it looks terrible.
The backgrounds of the pages are transparent and you can see the previous pages through them.
It is not really usable with Ionic.
I guess this is because of the shadow dom and the fact it stacks the pages.

Hi,
I just tried hotjar. Where my app is PWA. The main problem that I have is that modals are not been recorded. Have you encounter such a problem. And does any of these packages fix it ? Do you know?

As I said above it looks like hotjar does not work with Ionic.
I would try one of the other options.
Let me know how you get on.

Also just saw this article which may be an option too: Create a Screen Recorder with Simple JavaScript | by Anirudh Munipalli | Medium
